Hello,
        Iam from India, since i was a kid i just Love playing with L.E.D.
I am 30 now, run a Tiny online company, and was thinking of Finding good L.E.D. Stuff to make the inside of car glow bright, but in my country it seem, the products available on Ebay and other western country stores is Just not available.
Importing something more than a few dollars can be a problem here, so I started experiementing with L.E.D's in CAR.

Recently I've completed two Blue L.E.D. Light Strips which i've fitted at Innerside of my Dash Board(under dash)
They are 3 L.E.D's in a ROW serially, connected with a 100 Ohm 1/4 watt resistance.

I blew many L.E.D. before getting to a conclusion that Car Battery while on Engine Running sometimes goes upto 13.2 or 13.4Volts for charging, so if i sticked to a 12volt circuit it may blow up on long hours of Run. then i dediced on going in for 3

I've made a few Video's and onje can see them at http://youtube.com/watch?v=VbGRi3tYCN0&feature=user

Another one is at http://youtube.com/watch?v=xmtUHpTxyo0

They are made on Scale, plastic ruler, the on you used in school, yups thats right, It was the best thing i could find and stick the L.E.D.'s on, they are easy to make I made it with 48 blue L.E.D's and it costed me 3$ for the entire thing, pretty cheap.

Keep me updated if you have any questions.

Hard to believe since you were a little kid because LED is not that old of a technology.

I'm sure LEDs have been around for 10+ years
